"Man Made" Disaster vs. Natural Disaster

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

I was thinking how weird it is that after 9/11, the wig-nuts like Falwell and Robertson, blamed it on the "sinners," the gays, feminists, the leftists.

But after a much larger scale natural disaster, the tsunami, (Where I'm pretty sure, many more Christians died then on 9/11) they are oddly silent with their condemnation.

It's just odd that the "wrath of g-d," which I always think would come in the form of natural horror, is always in the form of man-made disaster when the right is looking for people to blame? I mean, blaming 9/11 on g-d and the sinners is like saying the tsunami was caused by geo-political tensions and war.

just thinking out loud....

1. Good think :)

2. Give it a few more days

I'm sure those opportunistic windbags will seize upon this disaster too with claims of punishment for hedonistic behavior from the Almighty, followed with the threat of the same thing happening to us if we allow gay marriage (and don't send them ten bucks) or some equivalent hate speech/general douchebaggery.

3. I've been waiting for Falwell and Robertson

to say it's their punishment for being Muslim. I'm surprised it's taking so long.

6. Just because it's not in the news,

I'm sure it's being said, just quietly, to those they know are stupid enough to believe them and don't have enough common sense to out them for the sleazy pieces of shit they are.

7. Already said and done

One of the douchebag RW zealots has already said the Tsunami was god's wrath on that godless part of the world. Don't remember who; I read it over the weekend.

4. The only time Falwell and Robertson don't make sense...

...is when you think they are sincere about what they say.

I consider them flim-flam men, and as such, everything they say makes perfect sense -- for a con artist to say.
